The Indian Institute for Science, Bengaluru researchers have developed a new technology to produce green hydrogen from biomass, a plant-based renewable source of energy, in just two steps, reported The News Indian Express on Wednesday, 13 July.
Firstly, biomass is converted into – or synthesis gas mixture rich in hydrogen – in a novel reactor with oxygen and steam.
Secondly, pure hydrogen is generated from the syn-gas with the use of developed low-pressure gas separation unit.
A 'CARBON NEGATIVE' FUEL
He said, “This is because in this process, steam, which also contains hydrogen, participates in both homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. The production is carbon negative.”
He added that hydrogen mostly comes from fossil fuels by steam reforming of methane.
The new technology is a joint effort with the National Hydrogen Energy Roadmap, initiative to promote the use of hydrogen as fuel, said
Such a ‘green hydrogen’ can even be used to steel, he said.

India reported its first case in Kerala on Thursday, 14 July, after a from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) tested positive for the virus, Kerala's Health Minister a George said.
The man arrived in Kerala three days ago and was after he displayed symptoms. His samples were sent to the National Institute of Virology in Pune.
He landed at the Thiruvananthapuram airport and is "quite stable, with all vitals normal," Kerala Health Minister George told news agency ANI.
His primary contacts have also been including his father, mother, a taxi driver, an auto driver, and 11 fellow passengers from adjacent seats, she added.

Monkeypox Cases Cross 6,000, WHO Says Present Cases Show Atypical Symptoms
Monkeypox is a virus that causes fever symptoms besides a distinctive bumpy rash. It is usually mild, though there are two main strains. The Congo strain, which is more severe, causes death in up to 10 percent of the patients and the West African strain has a fatality rate of around 1 percent.
The global caseload crossed 10,000 on Thursday, according to the World Health (WHO).
The cases spread rapidly in non-endemic countries, from April to June 2022. Fresh cases were detected in individuals with no travel history to West or Central Africa.
